Sun Is Giving Away Solaris 10 DVDs

Posted by kdawson on from the what-is-this-free-you-speak-of dept.

Tarmas writes "For a limited time only, just like Ubuntu's ShipIt service, Sun Microsystems lets you order Solaris 10 absolutely free of charge. The operating system comes on a single DVD supporting both the x86 and SPARC versions. Also included is Sun Studio 11."

    This is very old news actually. I got my SPARC DVD a month ago. Of course you should run Solaris on real hardware, not that obsolete piece of shit Intel is still manufacturing.

    Wow, the Solaris geeks are out in force today.

    Nothing to do at the data center?

    Oh, right, that's because Solaris is SO reliable, I suppose. That's why you're sitting around the data center on Sunday...

    And they call Linux geeks fanatical...

    Read my lips:

    SOLARIS IS A HAS=BEEN!
